How does one properly say “Happy Birthday” to the party king, Diamond David Lee Roth?!
It's Diamond Dave's birthday! First thought is to throw him a party. But wait - he is a party looking for a place to happen. Like when Van Halen invaded KISW. The myths and lore of the Rock N' Roll lifestyle became a reality one afternoon at our 1200 Stewart Street Studio. Champagne, cake, strippers, Rock Stars and DJs. Beau Phillips, former KISW general Manager told the tale on a book tour around the release of his book, "I Killed Pink Floyd's Pig".
We even have audio!
Then there was the time we threw KISW's 15th Anniversary party at Parker's Ballroom in 1986. Guests included Al Hendrix, Jimi Page, Heart, Journey, Bryan Adams and more. David Lee Roth couldn't make it as he was on a solo tour but asked if he could send a birthday message...In typical DLR Fashion:
And then...how do you top David Lee Roth showing up at the Forum in LA for Dave Grohl's 46th Birthday?(Warning explicit language)
And the party continues as David Lee Roth prepares for his residency in Vegas.
He's the voice and the soundtrack for an infinite number of parties in the PNW and worldwide. Today, we toast the party animal!Happy 65th! David Lee Roth!!! ----and we even tossed this vintage KISW Birthday card in the mail for good measure!
